Another word I don't like

Bromance.

I kind of just don't like the cutesiness of the word itself, but it's probably the concept that bugs me even more. It's two dudes, and they, like, love each other. Whoa! Kinda cute, and kinda awkward.

I dunno. It seems smug and narcissistic adolescent to me. Am I just getting old and cranky? I really don't like those ear stretchers that bohemian guys are wearing these days either. They just look ugly to me. Perhaps my worst nightmare right now is a bromance about two twenty-something dudes with ear stretchers. On a staycation together.

Where did I put my bermudas? And my best buds?

To be honest I didn't know what they were called until just now. Here's a picture of a guy with one. I see them around the U District quite a bit these days on the rad dudes with tattoos and dreads. Nose piercings clearly weren't rad enough anymore. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've noticed any women wearing them.

Oh, those. Imagine the versions you can't see.

I guess the next step will be when I no longer have to imagine. *shakes cane*

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey, you've got to hide your body mods away
